Rubbing elbow's with Mickey Mouse

When we stayed a week in Disney World a few years ago, we didn't get the food plan for the 3 of us (DH, GD & me, but our DS & DIL did for their family. There were too many to choose from and we had no idea when and where we'd be each day and it was too hard to keep track.

We ate most of our meals at our All-Star Resort cafeteria, but enjoyed the flexibility of eating at outside the park when visiting Universal & other places outside of Disney. We even got my BIL (a Disney employee) to pick up breakfast tab at one of the Resorts. And of course, we prepaid for Cinderella's Castle Lunch when we made reservations.

I believe you CANNOT take any glass bottle in... Just be ready to have the bag searched as you enter...Standard procedure for any and all bags entering including hand and camera bags.

Heard rumors that Mickey was going had to be out @ Disneyland in California that week. Sorry lol

If you can try to get to the Mickey's backyard Bbq. Amazing evening. !! Lots of fun did it two years ago...

Spent last week there. For me, the best part was the camping.

We will be headed down 4.26.13 for 10 days, our second trip in 3 years! We love it at the Fort! Have a safe trip.

Wife and I both work at Disneyworld during the winter season.Wife is in food service in the Magic Kingdom.. The meal plan is the way to go if you will be staying on the proptery and you wiil be staying at Fort Wildnerness.Money savings and less hassle.There are diferebt plans..Do your homework.

Ditto. The high point of my first trip there was the first time my pooch saw an armadillo. The look on his face was priceless! He literally did a double-take, and then looked at me, look at 'dillo, look at me, dillo. His expression was like "what the H. E. double hockey sticks is THAT thing!"


The only bad experience we've had there was one trip a family & friends showed up for a weekend birthday party booze-fest, and didn't care who they annoyed or what time of night they annoyed them. I admit I called the main office and complained the first night they showed. I know security came by and got them to shut up. Next morning they pulled out.

Hi Barry 2010:
Definitely a bucket list item you will not regret.
We had the pleasure of a 1 week stay several years ago. Fort Wilderness is superb.
Due to scheduling issues we attended in July, knowing that it was going to be very hot we planned on visiting the park in the morning, coming back (via water shuttle) to the trailer around noon for lunch, some cool down time and a mid day siesta. Then back to the park late afternoon and evening.
We have been going back to Orlando on a regular basis because we love the area, kids are now grown up so we stay just outside the park at Tropical Palm RV Resort just off of Old Town. GPG
